Ordered the closure of an edible oil branding and repackaging facility after detecting sales of adulterated oil.
Notes
Indias Food and Drug Administration ordered the closure of an edible oil branding and repackaging facility after detecting sales of adulterated oil. Reportedly, the concerned operator blended relatively expensive mustard oil with cheaper edible oils and failed to test his products periodically before sale.
